Rare Joelocal Posted January 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2023 We recently returned from our Mexican Riviera cruise. We witnessed two incidents where older people tripped on cobble stoned streets and sidewalks. . Both were seniors.. Mexico does not have the same standards for street's and sidewalks as the USA. The unevenness of a cobblestone street speaks for itself. Sidewalks often have holes, big cracks, and height differences that make navigating for someone with mobility issues a problem. Other issues are curb height and sometimes there are no railings when a drop-off is more than 18 inches. This is not a complaint. It's just a warning to those with mobility issues. Be careful out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It might be important to state MANY, MANY countries have cobblestone streets or sideways. Including the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaHofmann Posted January 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2023 That does not negate the value of his warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSN-Travelers Posted January 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Just returned from an extended stay in Vallarta. The walking surfaces in the primary tourist areas are substantially improved from the what they once were. 18-24 curbs now have ramps. The cobblestone streets can be problematic when crossing streets but the sidewalks are pretty good. Things do get less foot friendly as you move away from the waterfront. Enjoy! . . .
